-Mindy for rocking today's race after crashing in last night's crit and destroying a helmet and losing most of the skin on her left elbow and hip.

-Sallyanne for keeping her head up and fighting her way up through the standing despite ANOTHER FLAT TIRE. Someone get that woman some new tires already.

-Alice for surprising everyone (including her own stunned teammates) during stage one with a solo break and showing her potential to be a scary good crit racer.

LK's Stage results:

- 7th in stage one after Alice and I slowed down a chase pack to give Mindy a chance to win the race in the break.

-2nd in the TT.

-5th in the Crit (4th Cat 4).

-3rd in today's road race (2nd Cat 4). This was a climber's stage--and I am NOT a climber--so this finish is pretty remarkable and a testament to why you listen to Jeff Tedder when he tells you to do something.

Time for beer and enjoying what is left of this enormously beautiful day.

Vital Statistics

If you were to ask me to describe myself in two words, I would say "bike dork." Mostly because "incurable smart ass" is three words.
On February 24, 2011, I celebrated my first year as a cancer survivor. With the structural integrity of my boob currently stabilized, it is back to writing about bikes and passing judgment on my fellow human beings.
